I have been teaching myself Python using a book. The chapter I am on currently,
covers branching, while loops and program planning. I am stuck on on of the
challenges at the end of this chapter, and I was hoping to get some help with
this. Here it is:
Write a program that flips a coin 100
+= 1
else: tails += 1
return heads, tails
for attempt in range(20):
print attempt:, attempt+1, heads:, toss()[0], tails:, toss()[1]

What you are looking at is a simulation whereby a coin having 2 outcomes
(heads or tails) is flipped exactly 100 times. You need to tell how many
times the coin falls heads up and how many times the coin falls tails
up.
First become familiar with the random module. Assign a value of 1 for
heads
Hi Raj,
I'm another learner, I used the following:
def toss(n):
heads = 0
for i in range(n):
heads += random.randint(0,1)
return heads, n-heads
print %d heads, %d tails % toss(100)
Best of luck in your python endeavors!

I have tried to think about several ways to go about doing this but I
have hit a wall.
Even though I understand the general concept of branching and
